Dahua DHI-ARM7012-W2 Wireless WallSwitch
The Dahua DHI-ARM7012-W2 is a wireless WallSwitch for the Dahua AirShield alarm system. It lets you switch a mains appliance on or off remotely from the DMSS app, run it on a schedule or trigger it from an alarm event, and it monitors how much power that appliance is using. It handles loads up to 13 A at 100-240 VAC and links to your AirShield hub over an encrypted two-way wireless connection. An AirShield hub is required and sold separately.

§ 01Overview
What the DHI-ARM7012-W2 is
The Dahua DHI-ARM7012-W2 WallSwitch adds remote and automated mains control to a Dahua AirShield system. Wired in line with a light or appliance, it lets you turn that load on or off from the DMSS app wherever you are, set it to a schedule, or have it react to an alarm — for example switching on a light when a detector trips. Its single relay handles up to 13 A at 100-240 VAC and can be configured normally-open or normally-closed to suit the circuit.
It also keeps an eye on the power it controls. The WallSwitch measures voltage, current and total consumption and reports them in the app, so you can see what an appliance is drawing, and built-in overheat and overload protection guards the connected device. It talks to the hub over an encrypted two-way wireless link with AES128 and frequency hopping, plus jamming detection, at a range of up to 1,200 m in open space.
A few honest notes: this is a control accessory, not a detector and not a standalone smart plug. It needs a Dahua AirShield hub to work, it is mains powered rather than battery powered, and it mounts indoors. As a 100-240 VAC switching device it should be installed by a licensed electrician. It is genuine Australian Dahua stock with local 3-year warranty and support.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DHI-ARM7012-W2
Automate with your alarm
Link it to alarm events so a detector trip can switch on a light or device, turning your security system into simple home automation.
See what it's using
Built-in energy monitoring reports voltage, current and total consumption in the app, so the power use of the connected appliance is no mystery.
Safe switching
Overheat and overload protection guard the connected device, and an encrypted two-way link keeps control commands confirmed and secure.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Lights on with the alarm
Wire it to an indoor or outdoor light so an alarm trigger switches the light on automatically, adding a visible deterrent.
Scheduled appliances
Run a heater, pump or lamp on a timed schedule from the app, the same way you control the rest of the AirShield system.
Remote on/off
Turn a forgotten appliance off, or switch something on before you get home, from anywhere with the app.
Energy awareness
Keep an eye on what a specific mains appliance is drawing through the consumption readings in the app.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One DHI-ARM7012-W2 WallSwitch. A Dahua AirShield hub is required and not included; the appliance or light it controls is wired in separately.
Installation requirements
Because it switches 100-240 VAC mains, have a licensed electrician wire it in line with the appliance and confirm the NO/NC setting suits the circuit. Then enrol it to your AirShield hub in the DMSS app, set up the schedule or alarm linkage you want, and use the test mode to confirm a reliable wireless link before relying on it.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Pair it with an AirShield hub (required)
The WallSwitch needs a hub to work — build your system on the DHI-ARC3000H-FW2 hub, or the larger DHI-ARC3800H-FW2 Alarm Hub 2 for bigger sites.
Trigger it from detection
Link it to detectors such as a ARD1233-W2 PIR detector or a ARD324-W2 door detector so an alarm event can switch a light or device on automatically.
Make alarms heard too
Add an ARA12-W2 indoor siren or ARA13-W2 outdoor siren so a triggered alarm is loud as well as visible.
Want a ready-made system?
Start from a bundled AirShield starter kit and add the WallSwitch for lighting and appliance control.
